Garden-variety florals are now a thing of the past, thanks to the latest crop of Balenciaga purses. Designer Nicolas Ghesquiere has essentially reinvented several of the fashion house’s most popular bags, breathing new life into designs usually more synonymous with motorcycle chic than prim and proper elegance. The Giant Weekender, for example, is now a breath of fresh air with its purple watercolor-printed cotton and dark green leather trim. It’s unusual and may even be a bit too fuddy-duddy for some of us, but it’s a guarantee that Balenciaga fanatics will fight to get their hands on this limited edition item. Contact Balenciaga for pricing and availability.
